The lack of real competetion causes things to cost unnesessary much simultaneusly as they have unexpectedly bad quality. Almost always monopolies and cartels are a bad thing for customers. Luckily the legal system is most often against the formation of cartels and often it even tries to eliminate the monopolies. In oder to avoid legal consequences, the cartel members may not reveal the existence of a cartel. Cartels and monopolies are shy of light.
